A stepping stone on High Integrity GNSS architectures for ERTMS evolution
Prague, 23rd 24th March 2017
The 2nd RHINOS workshop (Railway High Integrity Overlay System www.rhinos-h2020.org) took place at the GSA premises with an opening speech by its executive director Carlo des Dorides and the GSA coordinator of rail projects D. Lopour (photo). The main objective of the workshop was first to demonstrate fulfillment of high safety integrity and reliability standards to detect virtual balise within ERTMS/ETCS on a global basis using the EGNSS (EGNOS and Galileo) infrastructures and to interact with the rail community. Introductory speech were given by representative of the Czech Ministry of Transport, director of the department Vaclav Kobera and on behalf of the University of Pardubice, dean of the faculty Zdenek Nemec. International rail experts as P. Petruccioli of UIC, M. Ruesen of ERTMS User Group, P. Gurnik of UNIFE and E. Rozenberg from Russian Federation – RZD NIIAS presented their views on the adoption of GNSS for train control systems . The workshop was co-organized by GNSS Centre of Excellence (GCE) in Prague under the chairmanship of its director, Pavel Dobes (Agenda). The project’s achievements were presented by the RHINOS team: A.Neri of Radiolabs (coordinator of RHINOS), T.Moore of University of Nottingham, S. Sabina of Ansaldo STS, A. Grosch of DLR, S. Roberts of University of Nottingham, A. Filip of University of Pardubice, R. Capua of SOGEI and Per Enge from Stanford University that is the international partner of RHINOS. A Round Table interacting with all the participants was moderated by Francesco Rispoli of Ansaldo STS.
